Hi there!
Yes, today is the 'big day' and I'm 29 - again!
It's so much fun how that happens ........ like every year!
I know, right?! :)

By the time this posts, I will have already been in the Florida Keys,
one of my very favorite places to be :)

Sandy beaches, blues skies, lounge chair, a mojito (or 3 or 4!)
We hoped my son would finally recover enough to keep the trip -
and he did! We have canoeing, lots of seafood eating, snorkeling
and more on the itinerary of fun lined up ♥

Back to my card!
I am in a group on SCS, founded by Jeanette, where for one month,
we are showered with card kits from all the other members.
The next month, we shower the next person and so on and so forth.

This month, March, I'm up - yay! :)
I'm starting out with Terry's kit first since it's a *beary special* kit
and fitting for the occasion today ~ thanks, Terry!

I followed the current Deconstructing Jen sketch,
letting this adorable bear be the focal point,
and then added a few buttons here and there, as is my custom :)
I also decorated the inside of the card as I like to do
but I couldn't find the photo of that -
must be birthday brain!
hee hee!
Have a wonderfully fabulous weekend!
Big hugs, Bigger Blessings!
